Abstract

The effect of temperature on the latent periods of rust, late leaf spot and early leaf spot diseases of groundnut caused by Puccinia arachidis, Phaeoisariopsis personata and Cercospora arachidicola. respectively, was studied. The latent periods (LP) of rust, late leaf spot and early leaf spot ranged from 12-49 days, 13-38 days and 13-39 days, respectively, between 12 C and 33 C An equation relating the rate of pathogen development (1/LP) to temperature was fitted using daily mean temperatures to provide three cardinal temperatures: the minimum (7"m,n), optimum (r^pc), and maximum (Tm,,). T^,^ was about I2°C for rust and about 10°C for the two leaf-spot diseases. Top, for all three diseases was close to 25 C. 7"max was Bl'C for early leaf spot, and extrapolated values for late leaf spot and rust were about 35 and 40°C, respectively.
